Naprapath's work includes examining, treating, rehabilitating the client and preventing problems.
At the reception, a thorough interview is conducted with the aim of finding out the client's general state of health, medical history and symptom picture. The interview is often followed by clinical examination and testing. Clinical tests are aimed at excluding various diseases and ailments. The most common things to test are joint mobility, muscle strength, nerve tissue function, and neurology. Based on the examinations, an individual treatment plan is drawn up for the client.
